Why do women live longer than men?
Women live longer than men, that is not a saying but a well accepted fact. If you look at the world, then in most countries you did the same. But why does this happen? There are several reasons. Men on an average lead a far worse lifestyle. Mostly, smoking is most common reasons among men and they are doing lesser exercise. But apart from lifestyle there are some biological reasons too.

On the other hand due to more testosterone production, men are more prone to prostate cancer because testosterone stimulate the prostate gland.
- Also when men become fat, they store their fat around the organs. For example, men have bigger bellies when they become fat. But when women became fat, the fat distribution their body is more consistent. The fat is stored under their skin. This type of fat is called subcutaneous fat.
